Your Total Coach

Our strategy development work falls into two categories. We can either facilitate you to develop your strategy, or we can develop the strategy ourselves to your requirements.

Strategy facilitation

When facilitating strategy development, our role is to facilitate: we see this as a mixture of coaching, supporting and enabling. We can organise and host group discussions, conduct interviews and bring together the information required to develop a strategy. We are happy to write the strategy based upon your needs and requirements.

Strategy development

In these situations, we will completely prepare the strategy for you. We take over the responsibility for developing the strategy according to your requirements. We use many of the facilitative processes described above, but will also conduct both qualitative and quantitative research as required. We can benchmark strategies against other areas or organisations and we can bring in examples of best practice from around the UK and overseas.

We often work in a ‘progressive’ manner whereby we will create and present a draft strategy that we then continue to develop once feedback has been gained from the client and through other relevant stakeholders through consultation.

Examples

Two recent strategies that we have developed include:

• Learner Engagement Strategy for providers of Adult & Community Learning.
   Client: This is a national strategy for the Learning & Skills Improvement Service (LSIS).
